Two words (and then a few more)

sff_corgi_ljI'm sure many... maybe even most of you have heard or seen more news on this than I, but anyway:
Seriously, can any of those who believe either more literally or more devoutly in the specifics of the AntiChrist please explain to me how George 'Dubya' Bush, who either causes these evils to happen or enables the men and women who command these evils to happen, does NOT more and more resemble the αντίχριστος? With his false Christianity and his lies and his war and his imperialism?
So now, in the name of America, we find out civilians have been being burned alive with the same kind of weapons 'we' have been accusing our phantom enemy of using.
Nienna, weep for us.
In a not dissimilar vein of destruction... the damage to the trees around South Florida is heartwrenching. Sure, other areas have been hit harder, I'm not saying South Florida's any kind of Ground Zero - but everywhere I've been driving lately, I see fallen trees and trees snapped in half and dead branches the size of fireplace logs. Around work, a good 90% of the trees - younger ficus trees, for one type - are lying around in pieces, waiting for dumptruck pickup. The only shade left, really, is from a few lucky leaf-stripped mahoganies and the buildings themselves - which means none at all, really. And Miramar is only one smallish area in the counties impacted.
Consider this - Wilma was a strong 2, I think, churning over the east side of Florida. I have seen multiple stop signs in which the upright, that heavy steel stock, has been twisted about 90 degrees before being folded into a near right-angle. Now think about Louisiana and Alabama again.... *sigh*

The second link I have about it is a thorough description of how the chemical works as a corrosive.
